The lightbar is a four-color indicator available on some Chromebook, but the
fact that can you can program this lightbar with different sequences, including
user defined sequences makes the device a bit special and very chrome platform
specific. The same happens with the VBC driver.

Other subdevices like, rtc, keyboard, usbpd charger,etc. are already in their
subsystems.
